Relic Treatment - What's the deal???This means the instrument is finished to resemble an instrument that has enjoyed a long life of heavy use. This includes significant wear and tear to the finish, dings to the body, neck, and headstock, and aged hardware. The end result is an instrument that looks like it's been around for a while and plays like a broken-in instrument. After playing one of the Relic Strats there is no other way to go. Just like your favorite old pair of jeans it just feels right.
